Sport: Who Won Sep. 29, 1930

¶The St. Louis Cardinals: a three-game series with the Brooklyn Robins, the first 1 to 0 in 10 innings, with Hallahan of St. Louis pitching hitless ball for seven innings against Dazzy Vance, who allowed only seven hits; the second on a two-bagger made in the ninth by Pinchhitter Andy High, a player once released by Brooklyn as not good enough; the third 4-3, principally through the steady pitching of Spitballer Burleigh Grimes. With the pennant practically won, the Cardinals then went to Philadelphia, sent Flint Rhem to the pitcher’s mound. A few days before in Manhattan, Pitcher Rhem, scheduled to pitch against Brooklyn, had disappeared. Said he when found: “Bandits kidnaped me. They were gamblers, betting on Brooklyn. They pointed their guns at me and made me drink raw liquor for two days. It was awful!” Recovered from his ordeal, Rhem held Philadelphia to a total of seven hits while his teammates scored seven runs in the seventh inning, won the first game of a double-header 9-3. St. Louis lost the second game, 4-3, but held a lead of three games over Brooklyn in the pennant race.

¶ Citroen, Argentine-bred chestnut polo pony owned by Robert Lehman and ridden in the international matches last week by Eric Pedley: first prize in the annual show of the National Polo Pony Society at the Meadow Brook Club (Westbury, L. I.).

¶ The Prince of Wales: junior handicap division of the Prix du Casino golf tournament at Le Touquet, France, with a gross of 82-83, and a net (handicap 24) of 141.

¶ The Philadelphia Athletics: the 1930 pennant of the American League, by winning from the Chicago White Sox game No. 147 of their 1930 schedule, to lead the Washington Senators by 81 games with four games left to play.
